    Cayuga help??!!

    in Finger Lakes Discussion

    Posted

    Sunday trolling north on the west side at 1.5 mph on top was 3.0 at the ball down 45.  Fish hawk is necessary.  Save up for one.  Its worth it.  I'm not even fishing using my sonar.  I'm locking everything between 59 and 55 degrees.  2.3 to 2.7 at the ball.  Cant miss.

    I don't disagree might be sooner rather than later other issue is lack of a down rigger to run it on I do have small crank one I can jury rig on to run it though

    I so far like this one unfortunately it was left open and decomposing for 10 years... it has been a long haul back ... but she is an 8000 pound boat and I have her topping at 35 mph now and can handle anything Lake can dish out... planning to canal it to Ontario in late August for kings anyone know how long a process that is from Cayuga ?

Also have some 4 inch minnow power baits for jigging and might even grab some sawbellies for live bait action later in day... staying on boat for this weekend and looking for advice on where to start on south end of lake planning on heading out before first light.... thinking of getting to open water 80 ft or so and setting dds down between 55-70 and start trolling for bait balls any pointers from those familiar w lake ...? Or better yet anyone want to join? Lol first time running the rigs myself I'm equipped w live well and lowrance hd7 for electronics
